Ray Durham's shoulder is bothering him:

Second baseman Ray Durham's sore right shoulder had been improving, but the pain was worse when he reported to work and was to undergo an MRI exam Thursday evening to determine the nature of his injury.

Manager Bruce Bochy had hoped Durham could be the designated hitter for today's game against Seattle at Scottsdale Stadium. Now, that is unlikely.

With both Vizquel and Durham down, it looks like Kevin Frandsen can win a middle infield job that should be his anyway. Age is really catching up with this team right now.
